5.0 out of 5 stars Parkening Plays Bach: Virtuoso Music for Guitar, January 4, 2006
This review is from: Parkening Plays Bach: Guitar Solo (Guitar Collection) (Paperback)
I found Pakening's transcriptions to be wonderfully true to the original compositions. I especially enjoyed the transcription of BE THOU WITH ME (Aria: Bist Du bei mir BWV 508). Though some of the stretches are fairly difficult, the music is beautiful in nature. Reguarding the stretches, Parkening himself said "No compromise has been made in requirements of technique." I give this book five stars.

This review is from: Parkening Plays Bach: Guitar Solo (Guitar Collection) (Paperback)
I lost my copy of this music and am ready to begin playing again so I wanted a replacement. There are some very demanding works included so I don't know how much of it I'll be able to do, but now I can find out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommend, October 22, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Parkening Plays Bach: Guitar Solo (Guitar Collection) (Paperback)
I like his transcriptions. Some are very challenging. Not for the beginner at all. Buy the recording to listen. It will help with the playing style beyond just the notes.
